Finding the Essence Simple Method

Finding the Essence Simple Method - (5777)

There are truly many different methods to help us realise our essence.

As Gurdjieff said it is often easier to describe what the essence is not than describing what it is.

At the end of the day knowing what the essence boils down to an experience. We know what it is through our own experience of it.

We can have a good idea of what it is, without hte experience of it we don't fully know,

This simple method leads us into our own personal experience of our essence.

We have to start by looking at ourselves becasue our essence is us and is inisde of us.

We start by looking at our personality, seeing that we are more than our body, our culture, our upbringing, our job and the different roles that we play in life: father, mother, manager, citizen, commitee member, community support workjer etc. etc.

Then we see that we are not our emotions, nor our thoughts as they come and go. Then what is left thta we can call ourselves? Our essence. Which is a space of awareness, witnessing our life's circumstances, events and inner processes.

Within that space emerges universal, timeless qualities...

That is also us, that is also our essence.

When we experience this, that is when we feel the awareness and inner space we have experienced our essence.

Then bit by bit through huge efforts of remembering we can shed other partially true identies and take up for real the one always true ever constant and permanent identity - which is our essence.

Kundry from Parsifal Unveiled - (3948)

The character Kundry is very unusual, and has a mysterious role in Wagner's opera: Parsifal. As master Samael explains, Kundry represents the archetype of the feminine. That mysterious yet extraordinarily powerful force that can raise a man to the heights of realisation or sink him into the abyss of failure. Kundry in the opera takes on a few different opposing roles, one where she is the temptress that seduced the king of the Holy Grail: King Amfortas giving Klingsor the opportunity to steal the Lance of Longinus and wound his side. She then helps the wounded king searching for balms to heal the wound in his side, then she is again the temptress that tries to seduce Parsifal the young knight who tries to redeem the lost lance. When Parsifal is victorious destroying the castle of Klingsor Kundry changes roles to become a servant of the holy grail and the knights of the order of the holy grail. These are all aspects of the powerful feminine force that is varied and has many differe...

What is the Kundabuffer or Kundartiguador? - (405)

Introduction Gurdjieff and Master Samael spoke much about the Kundabuffer organ and a lot of what Master Samael said is pretty clear. This post is just about going over some of what he said. In the Quinto Evangelio, Master Samael also revealed many more details which do not appear in his books. Note, the Qunito Evangelio is a two tome compilation of transcriptions of many recordings of informal talks that Master Samael had with his students. English and Spanish Terms There are these two terms Kundartiguador and Kundabuffer which refer to the same thing. Kundartiguador is Spanish and Kundabuffer is English. I believe it was Gurdjieff who first introduced these terms in his book “Beelzebub’s Tales to his Grandson”. I believe “Beelzebub’s Tales to his Grandson” was not originally written in ether Spanish or English. So these terms Kundartiguador and Kundabuffer are translations where the word “Kunda” could not be translated and the ending "buffer" could b...

When We Speak Bad About Ourselves - Because of Self-Compassion - (2963)

Even Just Thinking Negative When we just even think, let alone speak about ourselves in a negative way, thinking things like: how we are really this and that bad and that is not at all what others see, that we are in capable, worth little, know nothing, can't do this and that, fail at this and that, a liar, a dreamer the list goes on... We can be 100% sure that self-compassion is behind this because pride by itself would never allow this. In a case like this self-compassion taps into what pride hides from itself and others and exposes it. Feeling that it is doing job at ruining ourselves. Why It Does What It Does? Self-compassion does this sort of thing to avoid reprimand and to extract compassion from others. Self-compassion is about getting compassion for ourselves through others. It is set-up in relativity, using others as a reference point. Really the best thing that you can do for a person who is pitted against this ego is to ignore them, so that they can fa...
